I presently have 3 baskets, all stacked on top of each other w/in each a different hand project. Also my sewing 'tin' w/all my necessities and a small table w/a very small drawer w/all the extra of my necessities in case I lose something in the chair or basket and don't want to take the time to look. Which I always do later when I lose 2 things...makes the search worth it then. I keep an empty kleenex box next to my chair also for all those snippet of threads and such. For 2 reasons...a good place to catch it all and in case I toss a piece of importance, then I know right where to find it...which I have done! I also take a straight pin w/a good round head and push thru my threader so it is always easy to find. Skeat (so sorry I have nothing of too much creation or originality)
